Copyright Information

℗ and © lines explained and how to fill them in.

Last updated September 8, 2026

Two copyright statements appear on every release.

  • ℗ (P-line) — the phonogram or sound-recording copyright: who owns the master recording. Example: 2026 Your Label Name.
  • © (C-line) — the copyright in the artwork and packaging as delivered to stores. Example: 2026 Your Label Name.

How to fill them in

Enter the year and the owner name. Kalmori formats the ℗ / © symbol for you — do not type the symbol or repeat the year.

FieldExample
Production year2026
℗ line ownerYour Name or Your Imprint
© line ownerYour Name or Your Imprint

If you are a self-releasing artist, your own name (or your imprint) is the owner. If a label owns the master, the label is the ℗ owner.
